2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · YP66 AEO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 14 October 2025 at 74,758 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has consistently achieved passes following short-term re-tests. While the record shows failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests that any identified issues were rectified promptly to regain compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 48,945 miles and the October 2024 test at 63,140 miles, the Transit covered 14,195 miles, followed by another 11,618 miles in the year between 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps keep engine seals lubricated and prevents brake components from seizing. Despite the lack of specific recorded advisories in the final three tests, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of common Transit wear points. Given the age and mileage, the focus should be on the structural integrity of the chassis rails and mounting points, where corrosion often initiates undetected. The buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes, rubber boots, and control arm drop links, as these frequently degrade on high-use vehicles before appearing on an MOT failure.
